Magic Software, Not Enchanted As Such

By Adrian Bridgwater, July 18, 2014

Hey Presto! A new component-based mobile accelerator framework

Magic Software has launched the next version of its multi-channel application development platform, known as xpa 2.5. Not actually fuelled by any real or tangible enchanted forces, Magic has adopted the company name and brand moniker merely for marketing recognition purposes.

Magic xpa 2.5 joins a new Mobile Accelerator Framework. This development and deployment environment has new form animation and color options, enhanced navigation features (including native tab bars and navigation drawers), support for customized keyboards, and additional native controls.

The Mobile Accelerator Framework includes pre-built component-based development modules and best practices. The reusable components are hoped to speed development and reduce resources required to create multi-platform mobile applications.
